He’d easily pull 60% if he could run again. Primary reason why you never bail out a state like that.

He emerged on-top of a primary that was a circus freak sideshow. Anthony Weiner was running in the midst of all his scandals.

Here is how he got elected
The Republicans tan a weak candidate and so de Blasio got 70% BUT that was 70% of just a 27 % turnout so he got 19% of registered voters. That is would happens when Republicans abandons the field.

In NY only 20 percent of eligible voters voted. In NY that would be the Communists.

It’s not who voted it’s who counted the votes it’s why the democrats want mail in votes.

Very few people voted at all because NYC is a total one-party system and the GOP “opposition” is only token and unknown, since none of them have ever been in city government or any other public position. This is normally where NYC gets its candidates, but virtually none of these positions has been held by a Republican for ages.

Bloomberg was an exception, but he was a well known wealthy guy and simply said he’d keep on with Giuliani’s policies. Giuliani was brilliant on many practical things, but he was a social liberal so it was easy for Bloomberg to do this, and then of course Bloomy extended it into total nanny-statism.

But in any case, most New Yorkers show you what they think by not even bothering to vote.

Untrue. NYC is heavily RAT but Republicans can and DO occasionally win office there, especially in places like Staten Island. Rudy Giuliani certainly was not a "token and unknown candidate" when he was elected Mayor of NYC mulitple times, nor was lifelong RAT Michael Bloomberg when he conned the NYC Republican Party into nominating him and was then elected as a "Republican".

Nicole Malliotakis, Mayor Warren Wilhelm's opponent in the last election, was not a "token or unknown" candidate either. She is a pretty prominent elected Republican in the NY State Assembly and got the job by defeating an RAT incumbent.

You want to see a REAL one party system, check out Chicago, where there hasn't been a GOP mayor since the 1920s, and the GOP hasn't even BOTHERED to field a candidate for Mayor since 1995.

Although Nicole Malliotakis lost citiwide in her mayoral run against DiBlasio, she crushed him within the lines of the NY-11 congressional district (Staten Island and parts of South Brooklyn, including Bay Ridge).

Malliotakis is running for Congress in the NY-11 this year, and has an excellent chance of regaining the seat for the GOP, once again (and as has been the case for al of four of the past forty years) giving the party control of a House seat located completely within NYC. (By contrast, the last time that the GOP held a congressional district lying completely within Chicago was in 1995-97 after Michael Flanagan upset crooked Democrat Dan Rostenkowski, and prior to that it had been a while.)

Curiously, while the NY-11 has the highest Italian population of any CD in America, its Representatives since 2009 have been German-Irish Democrat Michael McMahon from 2009-2011, German-Irish-Italian Republican Michael Grimm from 2011-2015, Irish-Polish Republican Dan Donovan from 2015-2019, and Jewish Democrat Max Rose since 2019; hopefully the streak will continue with Greek-Cuban Republican Nicole Malliotakis starting on January 3, 2021.

Exactly my point. She was a credible opposition candidate to the commie Mayor and is a seasoned elected official from NYC, not some poor "sacrificial lamb" the NY GOP plucked out of nowhere and just placed on the ballot so they could have somebody in that slot.

What's more, the guy who ran against DeBlasio the FIRST time, although he is worthless RINO scum, was nevertheless chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and also a former deputy mayor of New York City, making him a well known official to NY voters. Being Chairman of the MTA is often a stepping stone to a citywide elected post. He was hardly some random token name just thrown on the ballot.

The NYC GOP runs actual candidates AND wins from time to time, unlike the Chicago GOP.

Weiner was ahead in the polls too, until his second sex scandal hit. Without his scandals, he'd probably have won.
